I Want to Be a Captain
The third young master looked at Integrity Gu in Long Xuan's arms with burning eyes, walked over excitedly, took a closer look, and laughed loudly, "I, Qian Gao, am the most handsome man in the world!"
As soon as the fat man, who was about to turn into a pile of fat, finished speaking, Integrity Gu in Long Xuan's arms started to shine with golden light, so bright that it was blinding. Only the lies that were so outrageous could make its eyes so bright.
Seeing how dishonest this man was, Integrity Gu immediately became angry. He glared at the fat man and was about to rush up and eat him in one bite.
Long Xuan was shocked and hurriedly held it down while stroking its head to comfort it.
This kid is really too angry.
However, the Third Young Master was not surprised but overjoyed. His temperament was very good. The greater the temperament, the stronger the binding force of Integrity Gu.
The third young master smiled and said, "I am very satisfied with this Integrity Gu. You can swear in front of it now and we will complete the transaction as soon as possible."
Long Xuan nodded. He did not switch to the state where Integrity Gu liked to listen to lies, because he really had no intention of practicing Three-Legged Golden Toad. Switching the state would be counterproductive.
He raised three fingers and pointed directly at the Integrity Gu and said, "Today I swear in front of Integrity Gu that I will never practice Three-Legged Golden Toad in this life, and I will never spread Three-Legged Golden Toad Gu Recipe in any form."
"If you violate this, I will be eaten by Integrity Gu!"
Long Xuan As soon as he finished speaking, the third young master immediately came over with a smile, hugged his shoulders enthusiastically, and laughed and said, "Okay! I am completely relieved after you said this."
"I will give you Three-Legged Golden Toad Gu Recipe right now!"
With that said, the Third Young Master transferred Gu Recipe from Three-Legged Golden Toad into Long Xuan's mind with soul power.
At the same time, he also took out the Integrity Gu he had just made to prove that the Gu Recipe he took out was guaranteed to be genuine and had never been tampered with.
The soul of Gu Recipe, which contained a total of 200,000 materials, took a long time to be transferred.
Long Xuan was completely shocked. Gu Recipe of Three-Legged Golden Toad actually required more than 200,000 kinds of materials, which was simply terrifying.
However, considering the incredible fighting power of the mountain-sized Three-Legged Golden Toad that we saw before, it is not surprising that Long Xuan.
Three-Legged Golden Toad's heaven-defying ability is indeed worthy of so many materials, even a little bit less.
As long as Three-Legged Golden Toad stores enough treasures in its belly, it can really make supreme-grade Gu worm invincible. Its strength varies depending on the quantity and quality of the treasures. This setting means that its strength has no limit.
Such a heaven-defying Gu Insect, using 200,000 kinds of materials to refine it is really not expensive. Not only is it not expensive, it is also too cheap.
However, the disadvantage of this is also obvious, that is, it is too difficult to collect materials.
With a total of 200,000 kinds of materials, the difficulty of collecting the main insect must be nightmare level.
There are countless Supreme-grade Spirit Insect that need to be used. I am afraid it will take him a long time to collect so many materials, and the resources that need to be spent are astronomical.
These materials must not be collected from the Third Young Master, otherwise wouldn't it be obvious to him that he wanted to practice Three-Legged Golden Toad?
So collecting Gu Recipe's materials started to give Long Xuan a headache again.
But at this time, he could only let nature take its course and take it one step at a time.
After he threw the elixir bottle containing Heaven-Mending Pill over, the third young master immediately showed excitement and hurriedly took it. He immediately poured Heaven-Mending Pill into his palm and used Golden Eye to judge whether it was true or false.
After seeing that there was no problem with Heaven-Mending Pill, the third young master smiled, carefully put Heaven-Mending Pill into the elixir bottle and put it away, then turned to Long Xuan and said:
"You have saved my life. I, Qian Gao, am the most grateful person. From now on, you will be my brother."
"When I get through this crisis and you come to my house as a guest, I will introduce my sister to you!"
"Then it's hard to refuse such hospitality. As long as the Third Young Master invites you, I will definitely reward you." Long Xuan smiled, feeling less wary of the Third Young Master.
Because Qian Clan businessman rarely lies, he really regards himself as a brother when he says this, and will not harm himself.
Wait, Qian Clan businessmen rarely lie, so what he said about introducing his sister to him is also true, right? Long Xuan looked weird.
After the transaction was completed, both of them were happy.
The Third Young Master needs to go back to Heavenly Moon City to deal with many things, and he also needs to take time to retreat to refine Heaven-Mending Pill's medicinal power.
And Long Xuan also needs to find a quiet place to refine the power of Heaven-Mending Pill and repair his qualifications as soon as possible.
So the two people soon parted ways.
Long Xuan did not carefully choose the retreat location. He just found a hilltop and used Earthworker to dig out a cave, and planned to use this place as his temporary cave abode.
In the cave, Long Xuan took out a piece of blue jade and a letter, looking thoughtful.
These two items are exactly what those Gu Spirit Sect juniors dropped.
It is a coincidence that the main material of Three-Legged Golden Toad is Golden Toad. Golden Toad is a kind of Supreme-grade Spirit Insect that likes to collect treasures. It is rare to find in a century and extremely difficult to find.
Three-Legged Golden Toad How could the main material of Gu Insect be so easy to find? A normal person would never find any trace of Golden Toad in ten lifetimes.
Even if Qian Clan Merchant Association wants to collect Golden Toad, it is very difficult. Due to the rarity of the material, there are very few people who can refine Three-Legged Golden Toad from the Qian Clan Merchant Association.
At this time, Long Xuan was worrying about how to find this Golden Toad, but the result came the next second, and the letter happened to record the hidden location of Golden Toad.
Isn't this a coincidence? Long Xuan has to wonder who arranged this script to make him feel unreal.
Wait, my clone just finished killing those five Gu Spirit Sect people, and within a few steps, I saw the Third Young Master being attacked.
The distance between the two parties is too close. Could it be that the five Gu Spirit Sect people want to use Golden Toad's information to make a deal with the third young master?
That Third Young Master took the risk just to complete this deal? The existence of Golden Toad is definitely a fatal temptation for the Qian Clan businessman.
It's just that this transaction often had accidents. Not only was the third young master seized the opportunity to assassinate him by his opponent, but the five Gu Spirit Sect geniuses also died unexpectedly, and the letter and the jade stone that had no apparent effect fell into his hands.
Long Xuan took a deep breath and thought about it, he really thought it was possible.
However, at this time, Long Xuan frowned and looked extremely confused. He did not feel the joy of picking up a bargain at all.
He is not stupid, Golden Toad's hiding place must be extremely dangerous, otherwise Gu Spirit Sect's people would have simply captured it themselves and directly used Golden Toad to trade with the Third Young Master.
After all, the value of Golden Toad is obviously more than a hundred times higher than the information hiding it.
This is enough to show that Golden Toad's hidden location must be extremely dangerous and not something that Gu Spirit Sect's people can easily set foot on.
And it is not difficult for him to guess that Gu Spirit Sect is definitely a giant in this area, a place that even Gu Spirit Sect dare not easily set foot in. Can you imagine how dangerous it is?
So Long Xuan hesitated.
If it had been anything else, he would have given up now. Even if the value of the treasure was astonishing, he would never put himself in danger.
But Golden Toad is what he needs most. Golden Toad is too difficult to collect. If he is unlucky, he will never see Golden Toad in his life.
If he missed this Golden Toad today, he couldn't guarantee whether he would see the second Golden Toad in the future.
Even if a second Golden Toad does appear, it must have been taken away by the Qian Clan Merchant Association who came after hearing the news.
Whether it was financial resources or intelligence collection speed, he couldn't beat Qian Clan Merchant Association.
And everyone knows the importance of Golden Toad to the Qian Clan Merchant Association. Once anyone finds Golden Toad, he will definitely go to the Qian Clan Merchant Association and raise the price immediately. In this case, he will have no chance.
Due to the above considerations, Long Xuan's thinking began to slowly tilt toward adventure.
After a long time, Long Xuan sighed heavily, picked up the letter, and read it carefully.
According to the letter, the location of Golden Toad is on Sky Island of the Endless Sea.
Sky Island surfaces every five hundred years, and spends the rest of the time sinking under the water. There is a Sky Island Ruins on the island that only Marrow Cleansing Stage can enter. There are countless treasures in it, and Golden Toad is one of them. The letter also details the hidden location of Golden Toad on the island.
Every time Sky Island appears, countless Marrow Cleansing Stage Gu cultivators will come to the island to hunt for treasures, and there are only more than two years left before Sky Island is born.
As for how dangerous Sky Island Ruins is, there is not much description in the letter. It should be that the Third Young Master must know about Sky Island Ruins, so there is no need to describe it in the letter.
But just one Endless Sea is enough to make Long Xuan's head feel heavy.
Endless Sea is far away from the mainland, and it takes a year to take a boat to enter Endless Sea.
However, small boats have little defense, slow speed, and poor endurance, and are simply unable to cope with various dangers on the ocean.
If you want to enter the open sea without risk, you must build a big ship, because only the surface area of the ship is large enough to carve a formation that can withstand Sea Flood Dragon attacks.
In front of Sea Flood Dragon, driving a small boat is a death.
This required him to develop the technology for building large ships.
Large ships are huge, and their hulls must be made of materials hard enough to withstand attacks from sea monsters, so building large ships is too expensive.
The cost of building a ship large enough to withstand the Sea Flood Dragon attack is simply an astronomical figure. It is definitely not something that a force can easily bear, let alone an individual.
Long Xuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
He doesn't have enough space on his body, and most of his treasures were left at home before going out. His current wealth is definitely not enough to support him in building a big ship.
Even though he has a lot of heaven-defying things, he still has enough money to build a big ship by selling any of them.
For example, Heaven-Mending Fruit, Soul-Nourishing Wood blades, Longevity Gu, and various heaven-defying spells he developed.
But how dare he sell these things? Even if he died of poverty and starvation, he would never dare to sell these things.
Long Xuan thought for a long time and finally decided to bite the bullet and build a big ship.
Because he suddenly thought that he had an ability that no other shipbuilder had, that is, he could portray little Formation Inscription with the help of Eye of Heavenly Secrets.
Other shipbuilders need to carve a massive amount of Formation Inscription to resist the attack of Sea Flood Dragon, so the size of the ship must be very large.
And he doesn't need to build such a big ship at all. He only needs to build a medium-sized ship, which is enough to resist the attack of Sea Flood Dragon.
In this way, he really saved a lot of materials when building ships.
So if he builds a ship, it won't be as expensive as he imagined.
If he lets the working rabbit and a group of clones work overtime, by selling a large number of elixirs, and selling some other resources, he should be able to raise the money to build a medium-sized ship.
Long Xuan's eyes lit up, but if he really wanted to build this ship, he would probably need to recruit a group of sailors with experience in the open sea.
After all, he knew nothing about the sea and had no idea of any dangers.
Navigating the sea requires a wealth of professional knowledge. He is a layman in this field, and it will definitely not work if he does it alone.
Moreover, the strength of the sailors he recruited should not be too weak, and the number should not be too small. Every time Sky Island appears, it will attract countless ships, and each captain will have a large number of helpers.
Each captain is also from a different region. Those captains from large regions are definitely unfathomable and not easy to deal with.
So he needs to team up with some people to fight against captains from different regions.
He must have a team for this treasure hunting trip, otherwise there is only one person on the boat who will be easily attacked by the rest of the fleet and fall into a dangerous situation.
